Glad to hear the sensors sorted it for you!

If your more then capable then I'd suggest stripping the air box, rocker cover, engine mount, headlight and side chain cover and having a peak at the tensioner. You will need a jack and block of wood to support the engine via the oil sump whilst the engine mount is off. Whilst your at it...

Does the car crank now? Has the n.a.t.s fault been resolved? Am I right in saying you have already changed the camshaft sensor? I suggest the next step you take is to inspect the timing chain tensioner, it's not really easy to get to as you have to remove the drivers headlight and engine...

The 2 sensors look identical apart from an angled connector but I don't know if the are interchangeable. My car would start and then stall and I could get it to stay on by depressing the accelerator whilst starting. Before wasting 80-90 pounds on new sensors (I'd advise genuine) id check the...

Just thought I'd update this, I had a new chain put in and it cured the problem. Mines the 1.2 model and it was done with the engine in the car so it's not impossible

Any more info on this? All I'm really worried about is changing the chain and the fault still being present

Ok so I checked and the ecu and cam sensor wiring seem ok, I went back to the drawing board and remembered that the mechanic didn't check the tensioner for the timing chain. So I just whipped the engine cover and side cover off and attempted to measure the tensioner piston. Roughly I think...

Hi, I've done some further investigation today, when the car is cold the p0340 code comes up and if I clear it and rescan, it does the same. However when I warm the car up to operating temperature fan kicks in etc if I clear the code it does not re-appear I feel that something is getting...

He didn't strip it that far but removed the rocker cover to check the cam lobes etc line up. Also I rescanned the car with a eobd scanner and the fault code is the same but the description has changed. It is now camshaft position sensor a bank 1 electrical fault in circuit

hi, Apologies for asking for help on the first post, my other half has a 2003 k12 1.2 micra. Symptoms as follows: engine management light on When cold idle is up and down and sometimes starts on the second or third try. When warm it's much better but not perfect. Upon scanning I get the code...
